A. Bârseanu is a work by Ilie Chidu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark suit and white shirt, sitting slightly turned to the side. His mustache is thick, and he has a serious expression. Behind him, a red curtain and a greenish, swirly background fill the space. The brushstrokes in the background are loose and blended, giving it a soft, almost smudged look. The man’s face is lit from one side, making his features stand out against the darker suit. Check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth like this.
Ilie Chidu made portraits and historical scenes in print and paint during the late 19th to early 20th century.
